coax adapters: multiple in , one out?

[Az]

You could just daisy chain the RF switches together in series, I'm not sure how the video quality would be affected but it's possible.

I have this setup on a TV in my basement with 3 RF adapters connected to each other, then into the TV. It's a setup I have just to test things or piddle around with, I couldn't give an accurate assessment has to how much interference there is in the video, but it's perfectly useable.

I know the NES and SNES (and possibly top loader) all use the same RF connector. Maybe if they are grouped together you could just swap one RF connector out between the 3. That's not fun, but definitely easier than unscrewing connectors on the back of the TV.

you know i just had a random thought.

i'm pretty sure all those systems use an RCA style connector for RF out to the RF switch box.

why couldnt we use a av switch box with RCA connectors on it. connect all the consoles with rca cables to, lets say yellow inputs to keep it simple, and then the RF adapter to the yellow RCA output?
i mean it just needs to pass a signal right? the switch box shouldnt be doing any processing, it might amplify it a little which is perfectly ok in my book

thoughts?

A workable solution has been achieved:

On a 3-to-1 AV switch:
NES
SNES
XBOX

On a 2-to-1 coax switch:
NES top-loader
ColecoVision

On the way: a HyperSpin box that will use HDMI. Pics later this week.

I found the AV adapter for the SNES in box of extra cables. The XBOX was in another room, but moved to this setup when an AV opening became available.

Many thanks to everyone for their insight and expertise!

It's not much compared to other Rooms of Doom... heck, there's very little doom here. But it should keep me busy for awhile

It's still a nice setup, organised and clean.

Same, all my stuff is packed up and stored so I can't play any of it. I have maybe a few handhelds accessible but nothing is organised so my games are all spread out in different locations, I haven't actually spent time playing anything in quite a while. For the most part the only game stuff that's really accessible at the moment is extra stuff I'm hoping to sell off.

I didn't think of this before but it would be nice to find out if this was possible, it could be a useful solution for similar situations in the future. It's a good idea.
